00:00Here's how you know that you have a true friend, and this is a simple friendship test, if you will,
00:05that was articulated by the writer Isabel Allende, who once wrote,
00:10True friendship withstands time, distance, and silence.
00:14And if you have these three things, then you have a true friend.
00:18One, a true friend is a friend for life.
00:22Like you go through different phases, but you remain friends.
00:26Two, you don't have to be in the same place.
00:28Like sometimes you'll move apart, or you'll travel.
00:32And this is okay, because you want the best for each other.
00:36You want your friend to grow and to change.
00:39That's what life's about.
00:41And three, perhaps most importantly, true friends don't have to talk all the time.
00:46Like sometimes there's periods where you don't speak.
00:49But then once you reconnect, it's like you never stopped speaking at all.
00:54As Elizabeth Foley once wrote,
00:56The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately, without growing apart.
01:03If you have friends like this in your life, tag them in the comments.
